"Will you take me with you?" asked Kate, eagerly.
"Certainly, and you, too, Roger, if you want to go."
"I would like to very much," was my reply. "But I want to ask even a bigger favor than that, Uncle Enos."
"Yes?"
"Yes, sir. You may think it a good deal, but you've been so kind, and I haven't any one else to go to."
"Well, what is it, my boy? I'll do it if I can."
"Lend me about fifty dollars."
My Uncle Enos raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Fifty dollars?" he repeated.
"Yes, sir. That is, if you can spare it. I'll promise to pay it back some day."
